## Features
Colossal-AI provides a collection of parallel training components for you. We aim to support you to write your
distributed deep learning models just like how you write your model on your laptop. We provide user-friendly tools to kickstart
distributed training in a few lines.
- Data Parallelism
- Pipeline Parallelism
- 1D, 2D, 2.5D, 3D tensor parallelism
- Sequence parallelism
- Friendly trainer and engine
- Extensible for new parallelism
- Mixed Precision Training
- Zero Redundancy Optimizer (ZeRO)

## Installation
### PyPI
```bash
pip install colossalai
```
This command will install CUDA extension if your have installed CUDA, NVCC and torch.
If you don't want to install CUDA extension, you should add `--global-option="--no_cuda_ext"`, like:
```bash
pip install colossalai --global-option="--no_cuda_ext"
```
If you want to use `ZeRO`, you can run:
```bash
pip install colossalai[zero]
```
### Install From Source
> The version of Colossal-AI will be in line with the main branch of the repository. Feel free to create an issue if you encounter any problems. :-)
```shell
git clone https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.git
cd ColossalAI
# install dependency
pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt
# install colossalai
pip install .
```
If you don't want to install and enable CUDA kernel fusion (compulsory installation when using fused optimizer):
```shell
pip install --global-option="--no_cuda_ext" .
```

## Use Docker
Run the following command to build a docker image from Dockerfile provided.
```bash
cd ColossalAI
docker build -t colossalai ./docker
```
Run the following command to start the docker container in interactive mode.
```bash
docker run -ti --gpus all --rm --ipc=host colossalai bash
```

## Quick View
### Start Distributed Training in Lines
```python
import colossalai
from colossalai.utils import get_dataloader
# my_config can be path to config file or a dictionary obj
# 'localhost' is only for single node, you need to specify
# the node name if using multiple nodes
colossalai.launch(
config=my_config,
rank=rank,
world_size=world_size,
backend='nccl',
port=29500,
host='localhost'
)
# build your model
model = ...
# build you dataset, the dataloader will have distributed data
# sampler by default
train_dataset = ...
train_dataloader = get_dataloader(dataset=dataset,
shuffle=True
)
# build your optimizer
optimizer = ...
# build your loss function
criterion = ...
# initialize colossalai
engine, train_dataloader, _, _ = colossalai.initialize(
model=model,
optimizer=optimizer,
criterion=criterion,
train_dataloader=train_dataloader
)
# start training
engine.train()
for epoch in range(NUM_EPOCHS):
for data, label in train_dataloader:
engine.zero_grad()
output = engine(data)
loss = engine.criterion(output, label)
engine.backward(loss)
engine.step()
```
### Write a Simple 2D Parallel Model
Let's say we have a huge MLP model and its very large hidden size makes it difficult to fit into a single GPU. We can
then distribute the model weights across GPUs in a 2D mesh while you still write your model in a familiar way.
```python
from colossalai.nn import Linear2D
import torch.nn as nn
class MLP_2D(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.linear_1 = Linear2D(in_features=1024, out_features=16384)
self.linear_2 = Linear2D(in_features=16384, out_features=1024)
def forward(self, x):
x = self.linear_1(x)
x = self.linear_2(x)
return x
```
